I Got Great Service from NCU Today.

NCU gets beat up around here so much that I wanted to let everyone know of some excellent service I received from them today. I was having trouble downloading my 1098-T tax form and emailed asking for help. I received a reply in less than 2 hours and my problem was fixed immediately. I am no longer a student there so there was little motivation for them other than just attempting to give good service.

 

You will probably get a bill for them answering your email.

 

Does this mean you are going back? Sorry - could not resist

 

The last two times I dealt with NCU, I had good service. I did a post earlier complimenting the improve service. Some of my post may have come off as if I am against for profit. I was committed to payout my $50k, but I got very angry after I withdrew from NCU. In my opinion, I was badly mistreated by NCU as a student. Even after that, I am still researching for profits because their convenience and program selections.

 

Goes to show that NCU may not be what we make it to be in this forum. Depending on specific cases and the motivation of a student, attending NCU may actually be a better option (financially) than those other big ones (with overhyped residencies that throw off total costs of attendance). Sometimes I wonder how they (those other bigger online schools) handle residency requirements when it comes to foreign students who attend them from their home countries without necessarily wanting the experience to cost them a fortune. If you haven't looked at NCU lately (like a Ford ad says, "look again"), maybe its time to look again...

 

I agree, we bash for-profits but the non-profits and public schools are not giving students much options either. Irrespective of recent tuition increases at NCU, its online doctoral programs still remain the cheapest (you can still get a DBA for under $40k, which you can uses to teach) around. The problem is that waiting to start some program ends up costing more because all schools will end up costing more as they all increase their tuition every couple of years at the least. Maybe now is really the time to get in, and then get out (with the degree) as fast as possible.

By the way, what was your major at NCU? If it aligns with Sullivan's PhD in Management, have you thought about transferring those credits there? Their catalog says they would accept 49% of the required 90 credits (which translates into 16 credits from master's program, and up to 20 doctoral credits).

 

NCU has been correctly lambasted for unstable policies and programs. I could not in all good conscience recommend them to anyone until this is resolved. NCU has eradicated the competitive edge of lower cost and schedule flexibility that it once held, its only differentiator is to have no residency requirements.

 

Cyber, I do not want to overhype NCU. NCU still owes many people an apology for taking their money then being downright anti-students. Many people have loss lots of money with NCU, because of NCU's policy then were to frustrate students.

Why yes, how did you know?

 

I'm taking biz ethics right now non degree seeking until i graduate from tesc. I have submitted one paper, had it reviewed by smarthinking first and received a 93 percent. My mentor has a sense of humor and provided useful comments on the paper.
I like the at your own pace model and was able to start the course immediately after paying by credit card.

 

Yes, I agree. I really liked the ability to do the program at any pace that suited you.

 

Maniac you can do it man just focus. I get distracted too and thats why i never finished brick and mortar. With these at your own pace options it is in our grasp, this with attention deficit among us, to complete any degree we choose.
